For strength? Look to Africa.

So, here's the weird beer news of the day. Nigerians are now drinking more Guinness than the Irish, according to The Guardian.

The model stout's home country is now its third-largest market, after the U.K. and Nigeria. The United States is the world's fourth-biggest Guinness consumer. The story says sales of Guinness are slipping in both the U.K. and Ireland, but growing everywhere else, especially in Africa (Cameroon is just behind the U.S. as the fifth-largest market).
